I’m addicted! I’ve created about 10 snowflakes already. Here’s one I made for you guys. 😃 [SnowDays](http://www.popularfront.com/snowdays/index.html?id=224246) ---

NO! NONononononononononono! Someone pointed me at that last year and it was three days before I could stop. ---

This thing has the strictest language filter I’ve ever seen. Hah. I figured it out. It won’t accept a certain four-letter section of the name **Nightwatch**. Funny, I had never even noticed that… ---

Huh? I don’t get it. Is it some kind of platitude generator? No reflection on your snowflake, **Tamarin** , but most of the others contain the kind of guff that glurge filters were invented for. “Let every day be a holiday, a day to be thankful, a day to share good fortune with others and let them know we care for them”. “Happy Hollidays (sic)” “Here’s a magic snowflake. Make a wish and send it back to the heaven’s (sic) and wait for the magic of Christmas to come to you” “The written word can be a blessing or a curse. The choice is yours.” :dubious: Where’s that barf smiley? ---

Wow, my first one ended up having a star of David in the middle, so I wrote something about being subconsciously Jewish and it said, “Hey! Clean up your language!” What? Jewish is suddenly a dirty word? ---

Also, holy crap, some people were obviously the A students back in kindergarten. Check out this snowflake #225212. ---

[My snowflake](http://www.popularfront.com/snowdays/index.html?id=225391). Tried to hide the letters SDMB in there but the D got cut out and the B looks kinda… bad. Oh well. ---

I’ve just spent waaaay too long making snowflakes. If you want to see my snowflake ouvre, search for flakes made by Bubba, of Planet Earth. ---

It always says I reach my creative limit and then makes me stop, even though it’s not done. :mad: There was one out last year that let you go as long as you wanted. I want that one back! ---

It’s different this year. You can see your progress as you cut, and you don’t have to cut along the edge this time. ---

Gee, thanks a lot. I’m going to up all night now. 😃 Mine is #226434. It’s not as good as Taryn’s (audiobottle pointed one of her flakes out – I especially like her “Kissing Reindeer”), but it’s pretty. 🙂 ---

If that site starts to run slow, here’s [another snowflake maker](http://snowflakes.lookandfeel.com/). Maybe this is the one **ivyglass** remembers. ---

Yay! Something else to do instead of study! I’m putting SDMB as my location from now on, so you can search for mine if you’d like. ---
